Smart Home Thermostat
Installation in Boerne, TX
Boerne’s cooling season stretches from April through October — Hill Country AC systems run 3,000+ hours annually, more than twice the national average. A Nuve smart thermostat reduces runtime during unoccupied hours, lets you pre-cool before you arrive home, and its rate-compatible programming helps Boerne homeowners avoid peak billing windows on both Medina Electric Cooperative and CPS Energy — depending on your location in the Hill Country.
Honeycomb technicians perform a wiring compatibility check on every installation. Older Boerne-area homes — particularly ranch-style and Hill Country builds constructed before 2005 — often lack the C-wire required for smart thermostat operation. We include a C-wire adapter at no extra charge when needed.
Nuve’s CO₂ and air quality monitoring is especially valuable in Boerne during the region’s notorious cedar and juniper pollen season (December–February), providing real-time indoor air quality data alongside temperature control — a feature that’s far more relevant here than in most Texas cities.

What Our Customers Say
Aaron B. was able to quickly come out and fix a wiring problem (from a previous company) that caused our heater to stop working. He was thorough, friendly and dedicated to taking care of our needs. I would recommend Aaron and Honeycomb heating & cooling.
Steven was awesome. He explained everything to me in a way that someone who knows nothing about geating a cooling can understand. He gave us pricing options that fit in our budget. And most importantly made us cool again!
